and he figures he better still leave tonight. The monsignor says he can't
because there are going to be lots of questions about this accident and if

questions so they might think they're trying to cover something up.
Meanwhile, Gabi is telling Ricardo how the press is all over the place and
will go over every detail to figure out what happened. Ricardo figures this
is great because he now knows how to get his revenge. Gabi told Ricardo
she's worried about Antonio since the media will play out his mother's
involvement in the accident and Antonio could get hurt. She's afraid they'll
try and dig up anything, perhaps even make up lies to make the story more
interesting. Ricardo thinks this is really great. Antonio and the Monsignor
come over and Antonio wants Ricardo to tell them why the AB was sending him
to a monastery. Ricardo needs a drink of water. He thinks to himself that no
one can know he saw the tape. He has to keep all this to himself. Gabi feeds
him some water. Ricardo told Antonio it doesn't matter why he wanted to
transfer him since the AB is gone now. He told Antonio to let it go. the
monsignor thinks that's a good idea and told Antonio he can't go since there
are no papers saying he was supposed to go. Besides he's needed in SB so he
can answer any questions the media might have. Ricardo is thinking that
there's going to be lots of questions, very soon. Antonio and the Monsignor
walk away. Gabi told Ricardo, she'd like to know what the AB had to say to
him, but Ricardo says he can't tell her encase Antonio heard.

how Antonio will ever forgive her. Maria tries to tell her mom it was an
accident. Carmen says dark energy keeps coming to their family. She says her
cards say the danger that threatened her sons is gone but there's more sorrow
in its place. Maria picks up the cards and says their running her mother's
life. She says they drover her out of the house and into her car. Carmen

Gabi, and Antonio show up at Carmen's place. Maria told them that Carmen
keeps blaming herself for the AB's death. Carmen told Antonio she's so
sorry. Antonio told her she's not responsible. Maria says she wishes there
was something they could do. Ricardo is thinking how everyone is falling all
over Antonio since he lost a friend, but when he lost his wife, they banned
together against him. He thinks Antonio better enjoy this while he can. Gabi
says that losing the AB was a tragedy for everyone. Maria wishes there was
something they could do. Antonio says they can all pray as a family. He asks
his mom to lead in the Lord's Prayer. While she's reciting it in Spanish,

Gabi. Carmen finishes her prayer so Antonio says a prayer for the AB and
wants God to grant his mom comfort so she knows she's innocent of wrong
doings. He wants all the innocents to find peace in their hearts. Ricardo is

her to comfort her. She says probably the whole family is there. Benjy thinks
it would be the perfect time to tell them all that his new name is going to
be "Evans." Tess congratulates Benjy on his name change and asks him if he
wants to have some cookies to celebrate. Benjy says he can't since he's still
helping his mommy. Tess wants to know doing what. Benjy told him he's

it's the other way around, Maria told Meg that she will find someone, Meg

how she could do it? Leave Cole in London and just come home. Olivia says she
hired the best lawyers and had to think about Tobias. Caitlin says so Trey's
executor is more important then her husband. Olivia told Caitlin to just

her lawyer. She figured wrong because it's Jude, since her lawyer wasn't
available. Jude wants a moment alone with Annie. He told her he's here for
the Liberty Corporation since they don't want any more bad publicity. Annie
tells him he better get her out of here. Jude decides he doesn't like her
attitude and perhaps publicity is good. He starts to leave but Annie yells to
him to wait. She says she didn't mean to sound like a..... Jude finishes it
for her and says "a witch and spoiled brat." Annie figured she had that
coming to her and shouldn't have acted nasty to him. Jude asks if this is an
apology. Annie says it is since he came out here to get her out of trouble.
She told Jude she'd be really grateful to him if he forgave her and got her
out of here. Jude says her apology is accepted and she's free to go since he
had taken care of that before he even came in the room. Annie told him she
can't stand him. Jude offers to give Annie a ride home but she doesn't want
to take it. She says "Drop dead loser," and leaves. Jude laughs. Annie comes
back since she realized she has no money and told Jude she was thinking it
was silly to waste the money on a ride and he did offer to give her one, so
she'll take it. Jude just remembered he had a date so can't. He walks out
calling her a "loser." Annie is sitting on a bench, perhaps waiting for a

walks into Vanessa. Vanessa can see she was lost in thoughts and figures she
was thinking about Ben. Meg told Vanessa how Ben is back with Maria. She
tells Vanessa she's moving on with her life and quit the Liberty Corporation
and is opening a shop with her sister. Vanessa told her she's been on an
emotional roller coaster. Meg thinks about Ben again and him kissing her. She
says she has been on a roller coaster and wishes she could get off. Meg
figures she won't get off until she's over Ben. Vanessa is taking off but
tells Meg to call if she wants to talk. Meg decides she should go see Ben.

realized she forgot something and figured it's in Ben's room which is why

thing. It's nothing special so she'll get it another time. Maria thinks

they could be friends again. Meg says she just wants to get her stuff. Maria

ask, he must be losing his touch. Tess says, "Oh my God, it's you isn't it?" Derek
says, "Yeah baby," and laughs. He wants to know if Tess is happy to see him.
Tess told him he scared her half to death. She thought he was Ben. That was
the idea of it. Tess figures this is what Derek meant when she called him and
told him Ben was coming to Seattle. She wants to know where Ben is. Derek
tells her not to worry since he's no longer a threat. Tess says she's not
very happy being left out in the dark. She's kept him informed of all she's
done. She's really mad at Derek. Derek tries to snuggle up to her and says
the kid isn't home and Maria is at her mothers. Plus it's been a along
time......Tess slaps him and calls him a "bastard." Derek wants to know what
that was for. Tess says he slept with Maria and is moving her into his
bedroom. She wants to know if she's just supposed to sleep down the hall in
the "nanny room." Derek says that's the idea. He says Ben will never go back
to Maria so he had to break Ben and Meg up. Tess thinks Derek thinks he's
really clever but she doesn't think so. She told Derek he shouldn't even be
here since she had everything under control. Derek doesn't think so. Tess
doesn't think impersonating Ben is such a good idea since that last time he
did it, he was almost killed. She says if he blows this and gets caught.
Derek says he won't get caught and will act like the perfect Ben. He says
he's already manipulated Meg and Maria, plus Tess. Tess says he manipulated
Maria into their bed. Derek figures Tess is jealous. Tess says this wasn't
part of the plan or what she was expecting. Maria and Meg walk in and Maria
wants to know what plan and what Tess was expecting.
